While we were in the Strategic Air and Space Museum, Jimmie noticed that the tail number on a plane was familiar. After he looked at the plane's history, he realized that he actually flew in that exact plane during his time in the armed forces. Amazing!
Watching this turbo-rotary-powered Sprite during the Pro Solo was incredible. I cannot believe how fast this car is. When he presses the gas, it looks like someone pressed the fast-forward button on life. It's just amazing how quick it spools up and accelerates. Yes, I had sex with the car last night.

The car's on the trailer - just a few loose ends to wrap up in the morning before our target blast off time of 9:00 am. JJ - can you put in a good word for us with the green Bugeye... maybe we can have a romantic interlude too... Nationals is so much fun. I can't wait to get there.
I'm pretty stoked. This is gonna be fun!
Windchill this morn.... 46!
STS is one of the first classes out this morning. Go Texas Region folk! Live results at sololive.scca.com!

27th Steve Eberlein
28th Todd Milstead (no clean runs :( )

Looks like baby Hedderick is sitting in the final trophy spot in D Modified after Day 1!
So A stock was pretty slow (as a class). And I think Jim H would be in second if it weren't for a cone.
Also STR was a lot slower than I was expecting.
Got the car ready to roll out yesterday...

Jason's doing his best armadillo impression. Or maybe he's just had too much of the good life.

I am having a much better time than last year. Being healthy and having better tires really makes a difference.
So Kiesel driving that green bug-eyed sprite (pictured previously) has a 3 second lead on second place (Bob Tunell)!
Thought I would show you all some love...

great to see TX region represent!
Been lurking for a couple of months, but this car intrigued me. On board videos of the car are posted here: http://www.youtube.com/user/7parts#p/uQuote:

I just watched the video above. I don't see how that car can be in the same class as Jerrett's Miata. Or did I read this thread wrong?
You read it wrong. ;-)Quote:

It does take a certain level of intelligence to Autocross. ;-)Quote:
